Story
Was a stray about 7 years ago, think she was around 3 at the time. Very chill cat and good for families. Just needs a family that can better accommodate her diet and grooming habits. Tends to eat too fast, causing her to throw up kibble. Would be better on a wet food diet. Tends to get feces stuck on fur and scoots it on the carpet, we can't have that around our kids and our schedule is rough to try and keep up with the messes. Had her tail amputated a few years ago.

Story
ADOPTION PENDING....Katie – the quiet quirky kitty that never makes a fuss. Katie was born September 6, 2022, and is fully vetted, spayed, and front-declawed. She came to us from a hoarding situation and, well… she never quite got the memo about how to “cat” like the others. Katie is a bit of an enigma. She’s got perfect litter box manners, a soft spot for wet food (you’ll see her magically appear when she hears a can open), and a little squeaky voice that’s as funny as it is endearing. Most of the time, she’s invisible — quite literally — as she hides away in a kitchen corner cabinet she’s figured out how to open herself. She does run about at times but doesn't really like the other cats trying to play with her. She is gentle, tolerates being brushed, and has no issues with other cats, though I think she’d truly shine in a quieter home with no more than one other pet — or even better, as the queen of her own quiet kingdom. We are looking for a client who has a good history of cat ownership. Katie would be adopted out on a trial basis, and she is always welcome back home with me if it doesn’t work out. I already have 11 cats and 2 dogs, and while we’re one big happy zoo, I’d love for Katie to have a chance at a place where she can be truly seen and appreciated. She needs a home where she can get all the attention. If you think you might be the person who sees the beauty in her quirks and has the patience to let her warm up at her own pace, please contact Grace at rescue@fuse.net Thanks for considering giving this strange and wonderful girl a chance.

Story
Taylor was hit by a car as a very young kitten and lost his leg, but he doesn’t let that hold him back! He runs, jumps, climbs and plays like any other cat, and even uses his missing leg to his advantage as he skids around corners.   Taylor is great with dogs of all sizes.  He is extremely friendly with people     He’d love to have another playful cat (one who enjoys a bit of pouncing and rough and tumble play) in his forever home    *Taylor is neutered, FeLV/FIV tested, vaccinated and micro chipped. * Male - 4 years old * The amputation does not cause him to have any special needs  *  He has been diagnosed with crystals in his urine and needs to be on prescription food for the rest of his life (Purina UR).  The prescription food (approximately $90 per month) is needed to prevent a urinary blockage. * Adopters must live within 100 miles of Florence, KY * Our adoption application can be found on our website, www.pawprintsnky.comOctober 12, 2024, 12:11 pm

Story
Meet Coco, a stunning 1-year-old cat who is a true survivor! Found as a stray, she bravely battled and fully recovered from Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). After completing her treatment, she is now a completely healthy and vibrant adult cat with a clean bill of health!   Now that she's healthy, all Coco wants is a human to love. She is the perfect blend of playful energy and a dedicated snuggler. While she may be quite shy at first, once she warms up, she is a certified Velcro cat. Settle down on the couch or in bed, and she will immediately be in your lap or tucked right next to you, purring you to sleep!   Coco's Ideal Home: Coco is a social girl who thrives with company. She would be happiest in a home with: A friendly dog (she gets along great with canines!) Another cat (with slow introductions) A dedicated human who has plenty of time for daily play and cuddles. Adopting Coco means gaining a loyal friend, a gentle soul, and the sweetest snuggle-bug. If you are ready to welcome a resilient and loving companion into your home, please submit an adoption application on www.pawprintsnky.com, under Adopt, to meet beautiful Coco.  Meet and greets are scheduled with an approved application. October 20, 2025, 9:42 am

Story
My solid gray coat is just gorgeous. I select the toy/s I want from the kitty toy box. Foster mom says now if she could just teach me how to put them back in their box! My Olympic feat is my jumping ability. I can jump very high to almost 4 feet straight up! Our antics (both sister Mercedes and brother Bentley) include helping foster dad dust mop the floor, learning about human things like ceiling fans, TV, and none of us are allowed on the kitchen table (we aren’t sure why we can’t get up there, but foster mom tells us this word called NO?). You can’t imagine how cute and beautiful we are unless you come see us! Please email my mom at SDanielDJ@aol.com, and she will send you an application. We would love for two of us to get adopted together as siblings as we are happier with a kitty buddy. Be sure to check out my grey tabby brother Bentley and solid black sister (Mercedes) T.H.A.N.K.S.

Story
I am a beautiful solid black kitten with shiny fur. I just can’t resist toys. I am the smallest of my siblings (sister Lexus and brother Bentley), but I growl at them to protect my toys. I’ve never given up a toy, even to my brother Bentley who is much bigger than I am. Favorite toys for me and my siblings are springs and red straws. We love sunny spots to nap and anything that is an adventure. I am the sweetest of the family and a big bird hunter in our bay window. You can’t imagine how cute and beautiful we are unless you come see us! Please email my mom at SDanielDJ@aol.com, and she will send you an application.

Story
I am a very curious tiger tabby kitten and can’t resist an open box. All of us in the family (including sisters Lexus and Mercedes) love to cuddle and are very affectionate with each other and people, too. We have fallen at least once (some twice) in the bathtub while foster mom is in the tub with WATER (we sure don’t like getting wet). Also, two of us have fallen in the TOILET but we are too embarrassed to tell you our names. Much of our day involves eating, sleeping in the sun, mostly hanging together, lots and lots of play, and following our foster mom. Did you see the my picture with a big, tabby cat? He lives with my foster family and we are buddies. Be sure to look at the picture of my head that shows my gorgeous tabby stripes! You can’t imagine how cute and beautiful we are unless you come see us! Please email my mom at SDanielDJ@aol.com, and she will send you an application. We would love for two of us to get adopted together as siblings as we are happier with a kitty buddy. Be sure to check out my solid gray sister Lexus (Lexi) and solid black sister (Mercedes).
